They will take land from Americans (Texans, Arizonans, New Mexicans, Californians), yet lack the guts to take it from Mexico.

Let me get this right.

You're pissed off, not because we're going to build a wall, but because we won't forcibly take Mexican land to build it on?

Do you have any clue how ridiculous you sound?

We already did that. We call the Mexican land "Texas".

Sheesh..you'd think the poster would know that.

Yep. You and I agree on many things. Much more than we disagree upon. My stance on immigration, and illegal immigration in specific; is that it is the sole responsibility of the federal government. Since the negotiation of treaties and trade is the purvey of the federal government, and specifically excluded by the interstate commerce regulations; I posit that the taking of any lands (public or private) for the regulation of commerce between a foreign nation and any of the United States is not only unconstitutional: I predict that the Supreme Court will weigh in on this. Legislation done for popular appeal does not necessarily mean good legislation.
